(2015-Q2) Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2016-02-12: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== ShareHolder Product: Investor Relations Solutions - Online Service (Web-Application) 2015 Q2 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Shareholder Investor Relations web-application. (2015-Q2). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate client-side application requests to compromise user account session information. The vulnerability is located in the browser name http request. Remote attackers are able to manipulate the local user agent name value. After the first manipulation the attacker requests the investor web-application with the wrong credentials to provoke a client-side script code execution. The user agent information are not correctly parsed or encoded which results in the client-side exploitation of the vulnerability. The security risk of the cross site web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.4. Exploitation of the cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no privilege web application user account and no user interaction. Successful exploitation results in client-side account theft by hijacking, client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected service modules.
